March 5, 2008 – Lakeland & Strawberry Fest!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Mar.05, 2008, under What\'s New?
We wandered Downtown Lakeland. Had a great lunch with Sandra’s sister, found Nathan’s Mens Shop that still sells hats and got ice cream in an old fashioned ice cream shop.
Here’s a drawing I drew through the window of Mitchell’s Coffee Shop.
I took a bundle of photos and somehow deleted them. Did have a survival of a sign photo. See it here at Genuine Florida. I’ll have to get back and retake those photos soon. Lakeland has lots of great architsture and possibly the greatest collection of, what now would be called, “retro” signs in our state.
Later we attanded the Florida Strawberry Festival in Plant City. Below are some sketches of folks at the festival. Later we saw Tom Jones in concert. What a concert! He was TERRIFIC! Especially at 67 jumping and wiggling around on stage. A nust see for anyone. Click here to see photos at Genuine Florida.
One reason we went was that my mother always wanted to see Jones in concert and never did. So I felt I kinda took her place.
